For some reason, Kaia felt that such a girl was cute, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.
Although he felt somewhat self-deprecating about how unprofessional he was for actually developing such an emotion similar to "liking" the object of his mission, he still asked patiently.
"Oh? An accomplice. I didn't do anything bad, did I?"
After swallowing the somewhat dry and hard bread, Youya, whose face turned red from almost choking, began to explain.
“…Barbara told me that the aunties in the kitchen who are responsible for cooking often have to wait until after mealtime to eat because they need to prepare meals for everyone early.
But now Barbara has attracted a lot of people, and by the time they come back, it will definitely be lunch time.
If I don’t rest, my work at night will be forced to stop because of hunger, so in order to deal with this kind of situation…”
The girl raised the bread in her hand, and whispered softly as Kaiya suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
“They would prepare these portable meals to simply fill their stomachs and eat later.
...Since this situation rarely happens, and in order to avoid storing food to attract insects, the aunties in the kitchen don't prepare too much.
In this limited situation, for every loaf of bread missing, two people will go hungry together. This is what I remembered only after I saw Brother Kaia breaking the bread. "
Kaiya looked at the almost finished bread in his hand with a helpless smile, but he showed no expression of shame.
"Then why did Miss Youya want to eat it when she knew all this?"
"…Why?" Youya gave him a sly smile like a cat: "Maybe because I want to try out the feeling of being a bad boy."
"I don't quite understand, can you explain it to me?"
Kaia, who had completely misunderstood, suddenly became stern and looked at her seriously, even his smile faded a little.
"Actually, Brother Kaia knows about me and Sister Eula. Although you hid it very well and didn't show anything wrong."
Youya looked at the plate on the counter, still feeling frightened.
When Kaia noticed that her gaze had shifted to the plate, he showed a slightly headache expression.
This matter really had nothing to do with him, but if the girl had already guessed his purpose based on his previous and subsequent actions, then his excuse at this time would undoubtedly make things even more obvious.
"Please rest assured, I don't doubt that these are all designed by Brother Kaia. I am just sighing... There is indeed gravity between people."
In order to make it easier for the other party to understand, Youya also explained it to him.
"If I use a pen to draw a line between knowing and not knowing, I think that line should be drawn on the scene where Kaia-ge shared the bread with me just now.
Because before that, I really thought that these were just coincidences. Even now, I still believe that my bumping into the corner of the table and the plate falling were all accidental events.
But after Kaia-ge gave me the bread, I revealed myself. After all, if I explained the motive before that, I could use the excuse of being a noble person. But after that——"
She looked at Kaiya's still somewhat confused eyes, and chuckled in her heart that he was being too clever for his own good.
"I mentioned the topic of accomplices. But Kaia-nii certainly didn't consider cheating as a bad thing at the time, so he distanced himself from it very naturally, but he didn't refute the fact that "someone" did something bad.
But there is no one else here except us. This means that Kaiya thinks that I, a weak woman sitting in a wheelchair who can't even avoid falling plates, am the one who will do bad things.
But I think from my performance just now, I shouldn’t be the kind of girl that people would dislike. I am obviously principled and cute, and I shouldn’t let Kaiya-san think that way. "
Yuya would naturally tell such a narcissistic joke. Facing Kaiya's surprised expression, she took a deep breath and spoke again.
"Then, think about my identity. The reason why Kaia-nii-san thinks I'm the bad boy is because he believes what everyone around him says, right?"
She gently stroked her chest with a calm smile.
"Because my full name is Yuya Lawrence - everyone thinks I'm a bad kid."
Chapter 30 Bad Girl
accident.
Kaia had actually anticipated that he would be exposed. After all, if the other party really was plotting to use Barbara and cause a conflict between the Church and the Knights Templar, they would have done enough homework.
As a third party independent of Mondstadt and with great influence, that is, Mr. Cripps's Dawn Winery, it is undoubtedly the person who has the potential to promote reconciliation between the two parties after the incident.
Then, as the adopted son of Master Cripps, he would naturally be on the other party's list.
There is even the possibility of being taken hostage and threatened!
If we say that before their identities were revealed, they were just testing each other——
But now that his true identity has been exposed, Kaia has no idea what the other party will do next...
He even looked around vigilantly, wondering if someone would rush in and pin him to the ground the next moment.
But after a long time, there was still no movement. Only the girl sitting in the wheelchair in front of her kept looking at her with a smile.
How is this going?
So in the conclusion, Kaia has already regarded her as an equal and someone who needs to be treated with caution.
If he were in the other person's position, he should have been prepared for his identity to be exposed.
But as for the results——
It seems like she really didn't do anything?
"Ah, it's there again. That look that makes you think someone is doing something bad."
Youya glared at him angrily.
"Ahahaha... I don't know what Miss Yuya is talking about."
While Kaia was still trying to get away with it with a silly smile, the other party sighed as if helpless.
"But, after all, I was the one who made the mistake first. I said something that was misleading and clever."
Youya, who had no idea what Kaiya was thinking about, put down the bread in her hand and lowered her head to check the condition of the wheel.
The wheel was still stuck on the corner of the kitchen counter. Normally, she would have to back out first and then turn, but she didn't have enough strength to change the direction.
After all, the design of this wheelchair itself was not intended to allow Youya to use it easily. It is a tool where the direction, forward and backward movement are completely controlled by the person pushing it.
The girl tried her best, her face turned red, but she still couldn't turn in the right direction.
As a last resort, she had to turn to Kaia, who was still thinking about something.
"Um... Kaia-nii?"
"Ah, um! What's wrong?"
Kaia, who had just come to his senses from his clever remarks, looked at her. Seeing that she was no longer puffing up her cheeks like a little puffer fish, but was looking at him pitifully, he couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
"Can you help me push the wheelchair out? It's OK if I just have the strength to move forward, but it's a bit difficult to turn from this stuck position."
Youya tried again in front of him, and failed as expected.
Seeing this, Kaiya did not refuse, but finished the remaining bread in two bites, then came behind Youya, pulled her out of this embarrassing situation, and then adjusted the direction and pushed her out of the kitchen.
"Thank you, Kaiya-nii. Boys are indeed very reliable."
Youya calmly called the other person "brother" and had no sense of shame in her heart.
Well, a little bit, but that's just how it goes sometimes.
Whenever a cute girl starts talking to a boy, she can call him by his name after they become close. The older boy can be called "senior" and the younger boy can be called "junior".
Even if not everything works out, as long as you cast a wide net, you will soon be able to enjoy the preferential treatment naturally.
Boys, however, will be caught in the baptism of this common phenomenon in school. If they do not help, they will be accused of being unmanly and stingy.
Although he has little presence in the class, he will be quickly targeted by the small group he belongs to just because he provokes a girl.
As long as the number of people is greater than two, it can be quickly determined whether that person is right or wrong.
Even if the boys are not wrong, people will think that the side with more people is more credible, and they will start to criticize their personal character, which turns into actual bullying.
Just thinking about it, I feel that these honest and introverted boys have a hard time.
Although Kaeya does not seem to have any connection with these attributes, and his thoughts are definitely complicated, but judging by his actions rather than his heart, no one is perfect in the world.
After all, from a psychological perspective, she herself is also a bad girl.
Therefore, Youya is always grateful to those who are willing to help her, and will also look for opportunities to repay them.
Although they are basically just small things.
It was not known whether Kaiya was successfully impressed by Youya's words, or if he simply had other intentions, but after Kaiya helped push her to the door, he did not let go of her hand and just teased her.
"That's not necessary. Although I'm not interested in the chivalric code and spirit, I don't mind doing things that come to my hand."
He leaned over and asked, "Besides, since we are already accomplices, I have to take you with me to escape in order to prevent Miss Youya from betraying me."
"Hey, why do you assume that I would betray you? Kaiya-nii really misunderstands me, doesn't he?"
Youya also showed a smile that seemed to have "bad intentions".
"Or is it that Brother Kaiya wants to use my bad reputation to do something secretly?"
"Haha! You've stumped me. In the name of Lawrence behind Miss Youya, I'm afraid he'll have to do something bad like destroying Mondstadt."
Kaiya, this bad boy, is not a bad guy either. He tries again under the pretext of joking.
However, when he noticed that Youya raised her head and looked at him with shocked and frightened eyes, the smile on his face suddenly couldn't be suppressed.
"Such a dark thought. Is Kaia-nii-san from the Land of Darkness?"
“Ah, even though I don’t usually read books, I’ve at least read The White Princess and the Six Dwarfs. It’s not ladylike to use the villain in the story as a metaphor for others—”
After responding expressionlessly to the girl's implicit description of him as "not a human", Kaiya also felt a long-lost sense of pleasure.
Humans are social animals after all, even Kaia is no exception.
Rather, it is precisely because his past is so secretive that more connections must be made in the present.
But it was impossible for him to really let down his guard and play with others without any barriers. He even kept many secrets from the respected Master Cripps and Diluk, who was as close as an elder brother to him.
Kaiya is trapped in such an unsolvable dilemma, seeking peace of mind and mission.
He had to tell many lies, each one carefully woven and linked together.
But at the same time, it is not difficult to tell a good lie. The real trouble lies in how to avoid being "found out".
He needs to live with the weight of lies and cannot slack off even a little.
Otherwise, when the ancient conspiracy is uncovered, even Master Mond and Master Cripps will no longer accept him.
However, during his current communication with the girl, he felt a different kind of ease.
He knew that the other person was of the same kind, and he also knew that he had said too many things today that he shouldn't have said.
But he didn't have to worry, because the other party was just like him...
Chapter 31 Barbara is Back
This does not mean that Yuya Lawrence is also a fellow traveler on the road to revenge.
Although Kaeya was sure that she also had some ideas or purposes in her mind that could "subvert" the situation in Mond.
But the direction she was heading was unknown, just like this wheelchair, any push from anyone could change its direction.
But the final destination must be the location mentioned by Youya Lawrence.
This is really impossible not to be fascinated -
And what's more, for Kaiya, no matter what Youya does, it will not harm him, but benefit him.
This allows him to avoid the guilt that comes with doing it himself.
Of course, he won't do anything bad, he will just be a pusher like he is now.
But before that, he needed to become friends with Yuya Lawrence.
Moreover, he also needs to guide his elder brother to get to know the other party.
Just like an excellent winemaker, he selects grapes with appropriate acidity, removes the stems, presses the grapes, and finally waits for fermentation.
He would watch the slow fermentation process to see if the two could produce the aromatic and delicate red wine he envisioned…
Just by imagining such a scene, he couldn't help but want to thank Yuya Lawrence!
Thank goodness she was born into such an excluded family as Lawrence!
Thank her for being so unpredictable and making people feel happy!
He suddenly remembered something that Master Cripps had said in a teasing tone when he and his brother were playing a crossword puzzle.
